ALIBI:

    Well settled is the rule that alibi is an inherently weak defense which cannot prevail over the positive identification of the accused by the victim. Moreover, in order for the defense of alibi to prosper, it is not enough to prove that the petitioner was somewhere else when the offense was committed, but it must likewise be demonstrated that he was so far away that it was not possible for him to have been physically present at the place of the crime or its immediate vicinity at the time of its commission.
